I've seen a previous film by the same filmmakers about Christo and Jean-Claude's "Running Fence" project, and it was a fascinating look at how hard the artists will push and how much they believe in their work — however fleeting the results might be.

Thank you so much for this posting, Buzz! I've set up the DVR so that I can relive the experience of walking though Central Park on a cold February weekend and experiencing the joy of seeing The Gates. It truly was a life defining experience!
